BY DANIELLE WHITE OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF UVSC campus police have taken another blow as the battle between them and the student body continues to fester. An article in the Deseret News last week elicted wide-spread concern as they reported UVSC officials were contemplating disbanding the campus police. According to Derek Hall of College Relations and Student Government President Jared Finch, such is not the case. "We're not looking to disband them or take any sort of immediate action," Finch said. "Rather we have formed a committee of adminstrators and student representatives to review the force and look at possible options," he said. This comes just weeks after former campus police chief Lonnie Fisher was removed from his$36,000-per-year post. Fisher is currently under investigation by Utah County Attorney Kay Bryson for "personal conflicts," Hall said. Officer Tracy J. Marriot has been acting in Fisher's place since Feb. 1. Bryson declined to divulge details about the investigation saying it was "against policy." "Somethings were done last week, so we should be able to take some action really soon," Bryson said. "But We can't discuss anything. Not only is it against policy, it is fairly premature to say or try to predict what the results are going to be," he said. Finch said that the timing of the committee review and Fisher's release just happened to be a "coincidence.""It has been suggested that we look at other institutions around the country and review what systems they use that work well," he said.

However, thanks to helpful trends, backpacks aren't just convenient, they're also popular. Some students such as Devin Taylor, a Hall of Flags regular, bring empty backpacks to school just to be able to blend with the more serious students. "You just have to have a backpack at school. Everybody has one," he said. Backpack shapes, styles, and prices all vary. Some people enjoy the traditional double strapped bag while others use the newer, trendier, one strapped look.

Meso Development (or Meso Desarollo) is a recently established non-profit company based in Orem that is dedicated to extending volunteer service to Central American countries mainly El Salvador.
